In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, honey and vanilla.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats (if using), baking soda and salt. Beat into the butter mixture, stirring until well-combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips. (If mixture is too sticky to handle, chill for 1 hour.)

About the recipe

A touch of honey, the optional addition of oats, the peanut-flavored candy chips and the peanut butter cups work together to catapult this cookie into the yum stratosphere.

We used Reese's Peanut Butter cups in this recipe.

Total time for these cookies will be longer if you need to chill the dough 1 hour before baking. After you take them out of the oven, let them sit a minute or two on the cookie sheet before you attempt to move them.
